ABSTRACT. Polarimetric study of bright satellites of giant planets in Abastumani Observatory was commenced in the sixties. Since 1981 the electropolarimetric and electrophotometric observations on Galilean satellities of Jupiter have been intensified. The data analysis indicates the existence of two points of inversion on the polarization curve of these satellites. One of the points is situated near the opposition (0.5°-0.7°). For the fixed phase angle and orbital longitude the polarization degree (with absolute meaning) the light reflected from the surfaces of lo, Europa and Ganymede is more, in V filter than in B, while for Callisto it is vice versa. For each satellite the curves of dependence of polarization degree and the light curve on the orbital longitude has two extrema. Besides, the point of maximum of the first curve is near the point of minimum of the second one and on the contrary.

ABSTRACT. The siliconorganic oligophenylenes have been synthesized. The reaction of polycyclotrimerization of some diethylnylsilanes as well as their co-polycyclotrimerization with phenylacetylene and p-diethylnylbenzene in presence of catalysts of the ZiegIer-Natta type were investigated. The general regularities of the reactions of the received siliconorganic oligophenylenes were studied. The influence of the structure and the ratio of the used monomers on the properties of siliconorganic oligophenylenes were established.

ABSTRACT. Application of an electric field for the activation of self - propagating high - temperature synthesis (SHS) process in the Nb-Si systems has been investigated. It was shown that the combustion mechanism and the final product are influenced by the values of electric field strength. At low field values (7.4 -11.1 V/cm) two types of combustion regime occur for mixtures with compositions Nb/Si = 5/3, steady - state and spin - like, leading to the formation of two different final products:

a - Nb₅ Si₃/b - Nb₅ Si₃ and NbSi₂/Nb/ a - NB₅SI₃. With higher field values (14.8 - 18.5 V/cm) the wave propagates in a steady state mode and the product contains only a -Nb₅Si₃/b - Nb₅Si₃.

ABSTRACT. Studies have demonstrarcd that total sleep deprivation in guinea pigs results in the origination and gradual accumulation of internal need of the body for sleep that is clearly expressed both in the process of sleep and after its deprivation. In this aspect the sleep-wakefulness cycle of guinea pig is subjected to desynchronisation, while "poor" sleep of the guinea pig seems to be associated not with the particularity of the revelant neurophysiological mechanisms, but with the factors which hinder optimal work of the nervous mechanisms of sleep.

Keywords: GUINEA PIG, SLEEP-WAKEFULNESS CYCLE, TOTAL SLEEP DEPRIVATION.

MICROBIOLOGY AND VIROLOGY

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy V. Bakhutashvili, March 26, 1997

ABSTRACT. A quantitative matter of escherichional microflora in stool was determined in 94 early aged children with acute respiratory viral infection (ARVI). It's shown that ARVI in early aged children is accompanied by development of intestinal disbacteriosis. The development of disbacteriosis correlates with complications. It's also shown that the development of intestinal disbacteriosis is in back dependence on titer of antiendotoxin antibody (antibody with glycolipid of chemotype Re).

Majority of children with ARVI have a decrease of antiendotoxin immunity. In this case it's necessary to be careful to take preventive antibiotics.
